Nautical Clip Chart

This past week while blog hopping, I saw several teachers with posts about their behavior clip charts - an idea that I fell in love with. What I thought was especially fabulous was the idea that students had the opportunity to move up the behavior chart not just flip to a warning card or worse. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that the children who are always on task and well behaved are recognized daily and encouraged to go above and beyond expectations by having the opportunity to move UP the chart!

And... even though the idea/concept is SUPER FANTASTIC on its own, some of you super creative teachers took it one step further by tweaking it to fit your classroom theme. There were a few that were just too cute and too clever for words!

Well, that was all it took... and I was on a mission to do the same. Although it took me hours and I was up until 2:00 AM this morning, I am glad you inspired me to create a clip chart of my own to fit my SAILING theme.

Here is a sample of what I came up with. I can't wait to have these printed laminated and put together. I will update the post once I get this done. Click here to download the file.
